Same argument can be applied to WWoHP, and seems just as silly when it is (as has been demonstrated). << IMO, the facades of Potter are much fantastic (using the adj to reflect the root "fantasy") than the facades of colonial America. Want silly? Check your analogy that equates miniscule, pedantic Liberty Square with the imaginative, engrossing Potter land.

But that does not, by extension, mean that LS is somehow less than a fully realized "land," as was clearly implied in posts #44 and 54. >>So just hearing the names of the presidents read to you in a dark room will cause goosebumps? Really, Dug dude, you're stretching more than usual.<< Wasn't me that got goosebumps, it was the dude in post #78. And it wasn't "robotic Presidents" that caused the goosebumps, it was the ROLL CALL. And yeah, it seems stretching more than usual is necessary today...
